NOTE: THE DEAL IS A SUCCESSFUL ONE - AS VAN-VLEAT CAN BE TRADED
Rockets:
CJ is a great shooter, solid passer and defender and that's what the team needs.
Ideally they would trade for Derrick White. But the Celtics will be reluctant to trade him, and if they do the price will be steep and probably hurt their depth.
Shepherd might be great but the teams is in win now mode and he doesn't fit.
Wizards:
They are in rebuilding mode and should take a flyer on a high ceilings guy. Even if Currington is looking good.
Van-Vleat might be a negative but they can take his salary and possibly flip him next year if they are lucky.
